Hockey is the fastest sport on earth. It’s exhilarating, tough, and always surprising. To be good at hockey, we have to be able to keep up with the pace. It might seem counterintuitive, but the best way to excel in hockey is to slow things down. All the best players—from Wayne Gretzky to Sidney Crosby and Nikita Kucherov—have a way of making the game go at their pace.
Yoga has been around for thousands of years, supporting healthy bodies and clear minds. Hockey has only been around—at least on ice—for barely more than a century. Bringing the wisdom and insights of yoga into ice hockey will cultivate better players, better coaches, and better people.

I'm a beer league player who picked up hockey as an adult. As an older skater, I’ve been focusing on building strength, improving mobility, and prioritizing recovery. I attended a restorative yoga session for hockey players with Adam before a late-night league game—and it was a game-changer.
What stood out was how different it felt from a typical studio class. The sequence seemed thoughtfully designed for hockey players—each pose had a purpose, and nothing felt random or like filler. It was clear the flow was built with skaters in mind.
It might be a coincidence, but after a season-long scoring drought, I ended up netting two goals that night. I’ll take that kind of recovery and performance boost any day.
